While down in California last fall, I had a sitting cancel on me at the last minute. Not wanting to waste the afternoon I was able to get hooked up with two sets of siblings that were willing to model-it-up in front of the camera. Their mothers were champs for helping out. And the "models" were good sports, risking being seen by fellow classmates on their own turf.

I love these types of opportunities, to just play around with a camera and willing subjects. It gives you a chance to try new things without over thinking it. I shoot a lot of personal work but there's usually a plan going into it. Not in this case. It was "get me to the football field and let's see what happens."
